Post Re: The O/T thread!
Funnily enough, I'm looking at buying the good lady an Alfa Romeo Mito with the twin cylinder turbo engine that is 875cc and good for 85BHP - Fiat group have a 105BHP coming too.....it sounds like a really revvy 2CV and is much more characterful than a 4 pot.

Yep. I was only up to just above my waste. Apart from the cold and the boat no other issues arose!!

Is it just me or does this sound like a slightly knackared 2cv gearbox? 15 seconds in... going from 3rd to 2nd slightly too fast.

Wasn't my choice when they bought it although I always told them to get a rib craft, and they ignored and bought another Humber about 8 yrs ago
Although in fairness the other Humber has been brilliant!!

Yeah, to me it's partly abused 2cv gearbox, and partly extremely drowsy spastic being fisted. WTF is it all about?
